4. Jacob asked the shepherds, “My friends, where are you from?”“From Haran,” they answered.
5. He asked, “Do you know Laban, grandson of Nahor?”“Yes, we do,” they answered.
6. “Is he well?” he asked.“He is well,” they answered. “Look, here comes his daughter Rachel with his flock.”
7. Jacob said, “Since it is still broad daylight and not yet time to bring the flocks in, why don't you water them and take them back to pasture?”
8. They answered, “We can't do that until all the flocks are here and the stone has been rolled back; then we will water the flocks.”
9. While Jacob was still talking to them, Rachel arrived with the flock.
